Annie Duke

Annie Duke was often the only woman at the poker table, which influenced the way people saw her – and the way she saw herself. Feeling like an outsider can come at a cost, but also be an advantage.

“I figured it was part of the game that if somebody was at the table who was so emotionally invested in the fact that I was a woman, that they could treat me that way, that probably, that person wasn’t going to make good decisions at the table against me.”
